ABOUT RITA…
“I used to love History. That’s why I thought: ‘there’s only one thing to do: I must study
Political Sciences and International Relations, dah!’ Yes, I really believed I was going to find
an awesome job with that course. Clearly, I didn’t become a diplomat. But during those
three years surrounded by politics, I developed a fascination towards story telling. Don’t
ask me why, maybe I found a cool refuge in books. Or maybe not. The point is that’s how
I’ve become a journalist. But since life is no fairy tale, I ended up in marketing. And I must
confess: I’ve discovered an incredible, wonderful world full of possibilities. Will I go back to
Journalism, or International Relations, or History? I don’t know. I prefer to leave all my
doors and windows wide open.”
